Against almost everyone's advice, he's going to escalate and send more troops.

What he needs to do is work with the Sheiks. They are the ones really in charge.

The new plan is to act like Officer Bar Brady, and eventually Iran/Syria will work out a deal to help partition Iraq, without US interference, as teh Iraq Study Group suggested we do.

He's going to get more troops over there which he plans on pulling out of his ass since hardly anyone is signing up anymore.

Is that opinion or fact?

actually that's news to me tim, for the past 2 years the armed forces were struggling very hard to meet their goals. The information you posted is recent, and not a representation of the big picture of what's happening.

I think both Syria and Iran know that the alternative is that they fight each other eventually. Iran is supporting Shias and Syria is supporting sunnis, and they currently have no direct strive with each other. They both have influence over the sunni insurgents and shia death squads.

The only thing that interests me is how the Kurds will interact with Turks when the US disappears. All those Turkish invasions over the past 30 years are going to bite them, eventually.

If i recall correctly, the Army had goals of upwards of 10,000 in the past couple years, much more than the 6,000 he was claiming for last month.

Actually Syrian governing family are shia so them supporting sunnis is out. Syria and Iran also work hand and hand and have no problems what so ever with each other so this scenerio isn't gonna happen.

If the services were meeting their goals then why are they stretched thin in Iraq... they have no excuses and not enough man power and most Americans are not too gleefully excited about serving for a presedents personal agenda with no benefit to the country.

No offense intended, but I cant believe someone from SC said that.
